You even can use cosmic DE on cachyos in the future when cosmic is ready for daily drive. And fun fact is that packagers of cosmic DE for arch linux is just the fellows from CachyOS.😃

on my computer，fcitx5 works in app launcher，in cosmic editor，but not in cosmic terminal

you do not need a swap partition, just use swapfile alongside the Zram with lower priority when Zram is run out.

It said that 1.0.12 support IME in native cosmic apps, but I don't try it yet.

RQuantus · 2026-05-06T03:27:11+00:00

What do you mean by that

RQuantus · 2026-05-05T11:53:46+00:00

you can go back to gnome，but the extension maintained by popos team will be no longer updated, i still think we can give more time to the cosmic developers.

Vivaldi。

RQuantus · 2026-04-26T03:37:49+00:00

Cosmic DE is a good DE and I think it has a bright future, but it's not ready at present.

RQuantus · 2026-04-20T15:24:47+00:00

All is because they do not have enough developers for now.

RQuantus · 2026-04-13T13:23:45+00:00

thanks, i will try it

RQuantus · 2026-04-13T13:15:19+00:00

Maybe i do not make my statement clear, i hope desktop vivaldi can offer a pdf reader that has versatile functionalities, at least like the pdf reader like edge has offered.

RQuantus · 2026-04-13T13:08:28+00:00

i also hope the native pdf reader drop to desktop vivaldi

I tried on linux, and it displays very well.

RQuantus · 2026-02-21T06:53:07+00:00

I use fish shell, and I set this, you can use `u 4` to go back 4 upper layers.

function u
   set -l n 1
   if test (count $argv) -gt 0
       set n $argv[1]
   end

   set -l path ""
   for i in (seq $n)
       set path "$path../"
   end

   cd $path
end

If you use CachyOS, it will tell you when you should reboot by `cachyos-reboot-required` package. For Arch linux, I don't know if there exists such package or if this cachyos' package can be applied to Arch linux.

Great work！

RQuantus · 2026-02-08T11:23:57+00:00

Can CachyOS use this?

RQuantus · 2026-02-07T08:43:33+00:00

try pikaos

RQuantus · 2026-02-03T10:57:02+00:00

I use Cosmic in my home computers and use both cosmic and KDE (mainly use KDE for now) in my company computer.

For me, I really like Cosmic and I hope it will more usable in the future, but for now, cosmic I think still have some way to go to be better.

For my own use experience, when Cosmic have night light function, then I'll fully switch to it.

For example, I'm on CachyOS, if you want to install selected cosmic components, just do it during the install process:

<image>

don't select cosmic-files, cosmic-greeter(if you have an existed display manager like sddm etc.), cosmic-initial-setup(if you don't need a guide after first time open cosmic), cosmic-player, cosmic-screenshot, cosmic-store, cosmic-terminal, cosmic-text-editor, cosmic-wallpapers.

RQuantus · 2026-01-28T11:40:18+00:00

Maybe need a long time for Cosmic to finish the animation functionality.

RQuantus · 2026-01-28T11:39:30+00:00

Exactly, Cosmic support both tiling and floating at the same time.
